4! Don't change anything about it, just get it on PC.

People not already familiar with the series would be very confused.

lolololol fucking autocorrect

Konami can go fuck themselfs if they think I give a shit after their Silent Hill bullshit.

Your last drop of goodwill is gone, you corporate fucksticks. Remakes of MGS is all you can wish to produce you empty husks leeching off the creation of others.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Konami. They are just trying to milk the metal gear franchise dry

I would love to see Metal Gear Solid remade. It's still my favorite of the series.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It was already remade as The Twin Snakes. I never played it, so no opinion on the game itself. Some people seem not to like it at all, but to be honest, that's expected with Remakes that go a bit beyond. Other than that, I absolutely agree with you; a proper and modern Remake of the first Metal Gear Solid would be awesome. It's my favorite too.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Twin Snakes was a funny, slightly different take. Action cutscenes were very over the top and probably influenced by The Matrix. The map was exactly the same, but the new mechanics from MGS2 broke it in favor of the player. Voice lines were re-recorded and the performances are kinda bad.

TS isn't exactly the definitive edition, but it's still enjoyable. Either way, unlike Snake Eater, MGS1 needs a big redesign if it were remade to modern standards.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The soundtrack got changed a lot too, which I am not a big fan of it (just listening to few tunes).

[–] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I totally forgot.

[–] Thassodar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love Peace Walker on the PSP, and since it's a direct tie to MGS 5 and is fully done I'd say it's a no-brainer. May even be easier than the MGS 3 to Delta transition.

[–] nuggie_ss@lemmings.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Peace walker was the beginning of the end.

Not sure why they decided to neuter CQC.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Metal Gear Solid 5, with the rest of the story, please.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't want anything remade. Make new stuff for fuck's sake! We got more remakes, remasters and reboots than original games this generation. I still have those games. I can still play them

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It sucks for people that have played them but it’s for kids that were too young to have.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the games are still available. There are no kids too young to have them. Because the games still exist

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Usually out of print and same with the platforms.

[–] nuggie_ss@lemmings.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Remaking MG1 and 2 would be practically new.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

how? by adding more twists to the already extremely convoluted (not saying that means bad) story? What elso besides graphics?

[–] nuggie_ss@lemmings.world -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

How about an over-the-shoulder perspective, for one?

There's no reason why it can't have an in-depth CQC system as well.

Voice acting, cutscenes, I feel like you're not even trying to understand when you reduce the possibility of a remake to just story and graphics.

You should also keep in mind that most people haven't played MG1 and 2 because they're so dated. This isn't due to being unable to play, since they're available for free on emulators. People haven't played or beaten them because they weren't made to the standard of the good Metal Gear Solid games.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 weeks ago

in that case that's a completely different game, and an insult to the original to call it the same. They just get to keep the same story and cash in on nostalgia, but it wouldn't be mgs.

I feel the same about the resident evil remakes. They're not bad, but they're not resident evil if you change literally everything in the game except the story.

If you're making a new, completely different game, I'd like a new story to go with it. Why is that so much to ask?

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Modern metal gear and metal 2 remakes... yes! Without Kojima? NO!

JUST MAKE MGS4 FOR PC PLEAASE I BEG YOU

[–] markz@suppo.fi 5 points 2 weeks ago

MG1 or MGS1 are the obvious choices. I guess PW might work too to continue from MGS Triangle.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Metal Gear Rising: Eggs

You know what the game is about....

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago
  1. High priority: Remake Metal Gear Solid from the first Playstation. Do not take The Twin Snakes as the base!
  2. Remake the original Metal Gear games from the 8-bit MSX systems, where the series roots are and started it all.
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'll just wait for Physint, thank you.

[–] gnawmon@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 weeks ago

MGS 1/2/4 remake sounds great, but what's the point when cutscenes and levels are 1:1 with the original and the game has the limitations of 3 gaming generations ago?

i think they're just scared to do any changes without kojima.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

do the PSP one. man I miss that handheld.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Snake's Revenge

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

How about the original two. Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2?

[–] nuggie_ss@lemmings.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'd only be interested in remakes of MG1 and 2, maybe ac!d if the stories are actually interesting (and they're remade like actual Metal Gear Solid games).

Unfortunately, looking at these comments I think I know what konami will do. They'll remake MGS1 because it will be "hype" and everyone will buy it out of loyalty to their gamer status, but it will essentially hit as hard as the Oblivion "remake."

Let's get something new, guys. We don't have to replay the same damn game over and over and over.
